Rental Apartment/ flat Villanueva del Trabuco Andalucia - Malaga - Interior Spain

" Trabuco Heights apartment is in the older "barrio" and forms the upper floor of a traditional village house with its own access. It offers modern, comfortable 2 bedroomed accommodation. Set on the edge of the pine forest with panoramic views over rooftops to the olive groves and mountains beyond. At the rear it has private patios and an enclosed garden area with barbecue terrace. The main plaza with all amenities is 3 mins walk. For vehicles there is space near the property to drop off passengers and luggage. Parking is usually available in the lower streets or the municipal car park. Nestled in the foothills of the El Gordo and San Jorge mountains, Villanueva del Trabuco is a traditional "pueblo blanco" (white village). It is ideal for holiday makers who want to experience the real Spain. There are whitewashed houses with red tiled roofs; winding streets and terracotta plant pots hanging from the walls and iron railings. The many bars and restaurants offer free tapas and, in the surrounding areas, three-course "menu del dia" lunches with wine or soft drink are under 10 euros. The numerous local shops, small supermarkets and banks are within walking distance of our apartment as is the medical centre. The new plaza and riverside provide opportunities for evening promenades. Fresh mountain spring water runs from several fountains and the locals fill containers from these. As Villanueva del Trabuco is a mountain village, there are many slopes and steps. The property is on a high level. "

" There are some stunning walks from the village into the nearby countryside and mountains. Horse-riding, mountain-biking, motorbike trails and organised hikes are all available locally. The nearest golf course is only 30 minutes away (Antequera). Lake Iznajar only 35 minutes away has a large sandy beach. Further afield, there is the coast for beaches, water parks and other attractions. During the winter months, skiing and snowboarding are available at the Sierra Nevada resort near Granada.
